Just a quick note. One of our friends lost three of his staff and the client they were guarding in the latest shooing incident. Zak is fine and Gordon has headed to Croatia and then New York for the funerals.

I'll be back in Iraq as soon as I can get a flight organised. Hopefully the "rug".

The yanks are as jittery as all hell, so (Brian) I will take your advice with all things!

If all goes well I might finally do the tip to Iran as the boys on the ground now appear to trust me enough to arrange it.

Happy birthday to the boss. Great tour of New Zealand - John and Nick.And Rastas. Thanks for the headsup on the latest DU research. Samples have been collected. Rokke is not as reliable as he claims so went via another source.
